We are a group of Grade 1-5 
students from Nanoose Bay 
Elementary that are taking part in 
this project as an enrichment 
project.  

Nanoose Bay is in British Columbia 
on the west coast of Canada.  We 
live on the east coast of 
Vancouver Island, which is a very 
large island.  We are very 
interested to see the information 
from other groups.


This is a picture of our tree in 
October.

Thomas's Fall Observations

Thomas is in Grade 2 and this is 
his drawing of our tree and the 
observations he made.

Some of the major observations we 
made were:

* there were several dead branches
* the branches were not straight
* the leaves were a variety of 
colours; even the orange leaves 
were not one solid colour of orange
* there was moss and lichen 
growing on the bark
the bark was textured with grooves

Giovanni's Fall Observations

Giovanni is in Grade 5 and these 
are the observations he made of 
our tree.

Andrea's Fall Observations

This is Andrea's drawing of our 
focus tree in the fall.  Our focus 
tree is an oak that grows at the 
front of our school.  Andrea is in 
Grade 3 this year.

Rebeka's Clothing

Rebeka is in Grade 3 and this her 
picture of what people in Nanoose 
Bay wear in the fall.

Temperature Data

This chart shows our temperature 
data for the fall.  We think you 
are going to be surprised by the 
weather we have in Nanoose Bay.  
Everyone thinks that all of Canada 
is really cold, but we actually 
don't get very much snow at all 
and the temperatures rarely go 
below freezing!
